Hi,
First off, I'm new to this so please forgive me if I've posted in the wrong place.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could unlock/modify the Dell Inspiron 1525 bios which can be downloaded from here:
http://downloads-us.dell.com/bios/1525_A17.EXE
or here:

When I fire up my laptop the bios conducts some hardware tests including checking the rating of the ac adapter. Unfortunately the identifier wire in the Dell adapter has a design flaw resulting in the bios struggling to read the rating. In this instance current is still sent to the laptop but the bios records a status of unknown adapter type and duly reduces cpu performance and prevents the battery from being charged.
I would like to switch off or by-pass the adapter rating check so the battery can charge and cpu operate at 100%.
Many thanks!
